Jiang Yi took a few steps into the workshop, thought for a moment, and lay down on the inspection table!
Sprawled out on the inspection table, Jiang Yi squinted his eyes and murmured, "Got a bed now..."
Although the image of a quality inspector lying on a cold inspection table seemed a bit odd...
Jiang Yi was still quite pleased!
Having a bed was better than curling up in the driver's seat!
This was a small step in the workshop, but a giant leap in the quality of life in his survival game!
After kicking his legs around a bit on the bed, Jiang Yi finally closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep!
...
The next day, at six in the morning, Jiang Yi sat up from the hard inspection table, rubbing his eyes in a daze.
Five minutes later, the system broadcast sounded:
"Attention all players, today is the second day of the survival game! It's also the second day of the Newbie Adaptation Period (2/7)!
Today remains a Vehicle Familiarization Day, with a maximum of 1 Treasure Chest refresh today~ Please cherish your resources and plan wisely~"
"Dear newbie players, a frontrunner has already emerged among you. If you want to receive the generous rewards like the first-kill player [Melancholy Little Fries], you need to work harder~"
"Friendly reminder: Remember to keep your eyes wide open when opening a Treasure Chest, as this might be your last glimpse of this beautiful world~"
"Today's Fog Erosion Speed: 5 km/h
You wouldn't want yourself and your beloved vehicle to fall into the fog erosion, would you?
Then set off, dear newbie players~"
As the voice faded, Jiang Yi's brows furrowed slowly, "Generous rewards," is this... targeting him?
The damn system is screwing with him again!
Jiang Yi's face turned grim.
Sure enough, after the system broadcast ended, the chat channel exploded once more.
Player [0714]: "So today there's only going to be one Treasure Chest refresh? What if we don't get any supplies from it, then we get nothing?!"
Player [Lucky Girls Don't Enter Unlucky Doors]: "Oh my god, isn't that completely up to luck?"
Player [Eternal Flower]: "Wuwuwu, I'm so envious of Little Fries, the big shot doesn't have to worry about this problem like us! After all, even the system said the big shot received generous rewards!"
"Envy +1."
"@[Melancholy Little Fries], big shot, don't you need any accessories?!"
Player [Born to Be King]: "@[Melancholy Little Fries], so did you open today's refreshed Treasure Chest and get a lot of supplies?"
From today's rules and the system's words, it seems this Little Fries was very lucky to trigger today's first-refresh Treasure Chest and received abundant supplies.
Player [Born to Be King]: "@[Melancholy Little Fries], since you opened the first Treasure Chest, can you tell us what kind of monster was inside?"
"We're all in the same boat, only if everyone gets stronger can we hope to survive this game! You can't be so selfish, right?"
"@[Melancholy Little Fries]" New chapters come out on novelping.com first.
Being @ed three times in a row by Player [Born to Be King], Jiang Yi's brows furrowed tightly.
Is this guy crazy?
He hasn't even said anything yet, and he's already being labeled as "selfish"?
Besides, the information and rewards he risked his life to obtain, why is he obligated to share them with others who haven't paid any price?
Not only do they not expect him to be kind-hearted, but they're also morally blackmailing him?
Jiang Yi silently cursed him as a dumbass and had no intention of answering him.
A dumbass who's generous with other people's stuff.
Clearly, there wasn't just one crazy person in the group.
Player [Boundless Love]: "Yeah, yeah, as a basic human sympathy, you should have it, right? Look at how many people in the group are already out of water and food, if you have abundant supplies, just a little bit would help us.@[Melancholy Little Fries]"
"+1, please, big shot!"
"..."
Jiang Yi originally wanted to talk about what kind of monster he encountered, but after seeing the refreshed chat messages, he completely lost the desire.
Now they've directly escalated from sharing information to "begging" for supplies, ha.
Jiang Yi's gaze turned much colder, and just as he was about to close the chat window, a new message popped up:
Player [Your Jungle King Runs Rampant]: "A bunch of dumbfucks upstairs."
Concise, straightforward, with strong offensive and insulting power!
Jiang Yi burst out laughing.
This unlucky player [Your Jungle King Runs Rampant] who opened a stroller, wheelchair, and skateboard is quite interesting, huh?
At least it lightened his mood a bit.
In the private chat channel, people kept sending friend requests, but Jiang Yi just glanced at them and closed the window.
He didn't have time to deal with these people right now—
Besides steering the other players' attention toward him, the game had also patched a rule—
"You wouldn't want yourself and your beloved vehicle to fall into the fog erosion, right? That would really be deadly~"
This directly prioritized the white fog and the vehicle.
Gotta say, what a damn game!
The rule was added so subtly,
"Don't call me a damn game~"
"I'm very smart~"
The fog [night] would continue to advance, and his vehicle was stuck here, so he had to set off quickly.
Moreover, with this experience, Jiang Yi paid more attention to observing the game's information!
The distance in the upper right corner had been updated:
"Current Fog Erosion Distance: 0.001 km (Kid, I advise you not to keep courting death~)"
"Today's Mileage: 0 km"
The system set a 1m rule distance for him.
In addition, today's mileage data also caught Jiang Yi's attention.
If it were just the pursuit of the white fog, only displaying the current fog erosion distance would suffice, no need to display today's mileage.
This...
Perhaps it hinted that mileage was also a very important point?
Maybe there was some kind of evaluation mechanism for players?
Thinking of this, Jiang Yi nodded slightly, placed both hands on the steering wheel, and stepped on the accelerator!
The speed of the electric forklift soared to 25 km/h!
He hadn't moved all day yesterday, so the battery wasn't drained much. Plus, he had acquired new battery reserves, so the current battery was still quite sufficient, allowing him to let loose and sprint at full speed!
This time, apart from taking out a bottle of Farmwife Spring to drink a few sips midway, Jiang Yi drove continuously for 6 hours.
When his palms grew numb and his waist turned soft, he finally came to a stop.
During this time, while driving, Jiang Yi kept glancing at the sides of the road, hoping to spot a Treasure Chest, but unfortunately, he didn't see any.
Well, with today's Treasure Chest refresh limit set at 1, it was possible to encounter one, but also possible not to.
However, Jiang Yi wasn't worried, the haul from the morning was enough to sustain him for a long time.
Jiang Yi got out of the driver's seat, did a few stretches, then sat down on the ground around the vehicle, took out a bottle of Farmwife Spring, and drank a sip. After thinking for a moment, he also took out an alkaline bread (taro flavor) from his backpack and took a bite.
He was starving.
The time had already reached a quarter past twelve, and the mileage in the upper right corner had been updated:
"Current Fog Erosion Distance: 150 km"
"Today's Mileage: 150 km"
Today's fog progression speed was still 5 km/h, calculated with an 8-hour night, it would at most catch up to the 110 km mark, leaving a completely safe distance.
But considering the potential importance of mileage, Jiang Yi didn't plan to stop.
Jiang Yi chewed on the taro bread with a vacant look in his eyes.
Chew, chew, chew.
Chew, chew, chew.
Suddenly, something new appeared on the road ahead!
It was a right-turn junction, seemingly leading to a service area!
